The pool house was outstanding, it had everything we needed . Our age range was 3 - 85 and it had lots to do in and around the house. It is the best house we have stayed in for comfort and location.

We had a really lovely stay in The Yurt — it had everything we needed and was so warm and cosy, even in November. The hot tub was brilliant, especially for a bit of star gazing in the evenings. The attention to detail throughout was fantastic, and we really appreciated the little touches — including the wagon to ferry our things from the car to The Yurt. All the information we needed was laid out clearly in a detailed booklet, which made everything really easy. Charlie was incredibly helpful and always at the end of the phone if we needed anything. The location is great too, with plenty ...more

This is our 2nd stay in this lovely cottage, which is inscrutibly clean, very well apointed, and totally private. It's close to the main house, but faces away into a lovely green field. You couldn't ask for a better place to relax and unwind.

We had a really wonderful stay at The Calf Pens. There was so much attention to detail that we wanted for nothing. It was clean, comfortable, extremely well laid out and had plenty of books and board games to entertain us. The owners had carefully and thoughtfully put together interesting places to visit and provided information for local pubs/restaurants. All these touches enabled us to have a relaxing stay. We loved our evening strolls around the adjoining farmland and lakes, just beyond the garden. We were lucky to see so many bats and dragonflies, plus many varieties of birds in the wo...more

We spent a midweek in the Aspen Loft and had a truly delightful experience. The accommodation is wonderfully cosy, with charming and colourful decoration that instantly makes you feel at home. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need and the garden is an absolute gem, romantic with a wide view across the surrounding landscape. The hosts welcomed us with genuine warmth (and their gentle dogs added an extra touch of joy). Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax in a peaceful countryside setting.

The Hayloft is extremely well presented, with a blend of the old, retro, new features and decor. The location is perfect for walks, sightseeing and discovering the local history. What made it extra special for me was the fact that i am a massive fan of the Lovejoy TV series from days gone past. to be able to stay in his workshop, in the grounds of Belchamp / Felsham Hall, was a dream come true. Would highly recommend a stay there. Thank you for making it part of a perfect experience.

We wanted a long weekend base for ourselves, our daughter, husband and 2 very small grandchildren (aged 2 and a baby aged 10 weeks) and their friends to join us - it delivered on every front. The house is an Elizabethan gem, a privilege to stay in, surrounded by a moat, which adds to the uniqueness. The grounds are beautiful - particularly around the house and summer house - with lovely lavender and roses, in full bloom. The pool was used every day - warm and inviting to everyone - and great to sit around. Billy was really helpful on arrival - standing in to cover another of the team's hol...more

What an outstanding place to stay. The Temple was stunning in spacious wonderful grounds. The building and furnishings were fantastic , and we couldn’t have asked for more. It was a brilliant place for a family holiday. Idyllic Cottages staff and the estate staff were friendly and very helpful. Definitely a great place to stay.

Our recent stay at The Tryst in Lavenham was nothing short of enchanting. From the moment we stepped through its ancient doorway, we were transported to a bygone era, yet enveloped in a comfort that made our rural getaway absolutely perfect. The Tryst itself is a magnificent example of Lavenham's incredible heritage. As one of the village's oldest homes, this Grade 1 Listed property showcases traditional mid-15th Century timber-framed architecture at its finest. Every corner reveals historic features, some even dating back to the Elizabethan age, allowing you to genuinely "step back into th...more

Duke's lodge is simply lovely and cosy with a well equipped kitchen/dining room and very comfortable beds. Quirky as can be so mind your head. Ceilings are high enough but the doorframes...... Located (almost) on the village market square and at crawling distance to two great pubs. Sunday lunch at the Crown was perfect. Walks aplenty e.g. to the nearby village of Chelsworth with also a great pub. Suffolk is very nice and picturesque with lots of things to see and do within a half hour's drive. Bury st. Edmunds is a nice place to shop. Lavenham is our favourite medieval village in the area. We ...more
